Hey folks, there is an up and coming Discord alternative. It is called "Revolt" https://revolt.chat/. It is completely separate from Discord, and is being run by a small team of devs and mods (I am not part of the platform dev or mod team). I am just a user and server owner and want to spread the word.
The app itself is very good, although changes are implemented slowly because the folks working on it are volunteer and work on it as a labor of love in their spare time. It does have voice chat like Discord, but can be a bit wonky. The voice server is supposed to be replaced soon with something more robust. At this time, screen share is not available.
However, if you are looking for a Discord alterative (if even just to have as a backup to Discord), this is the right place.
Should you be interested in joining my Disability server on Revolt, please feel free to do so: https://rvlt.gg/9xNVbPdK
Hope to see you there!
Doesn't matrix already exist
Right on. In fact, I still have the Element client for Matrix, but it just wasn't quite what I was looking for. It is pretty awesome in terms of being decentralized though.
